Cops Realize Psycho Daughters Car Is Filled With Bodies

All right. You nervous? I'm not opening this door. >> out here with Ms. Cassandra. >> [music]. >> Officers have just arrived at the. Getaway Motel of 28-year-old Cassandra. [music] Douglas. For the last 24 hours, she and her brother have been on the run. after three of their family members were. found dead and burned in the desert. 99% this is either an animal or a. person. Yeah. That looks like a human, dude. And as these local officers.

prepare to confront the primary suspect. of the most important case they've ever. worked on, nothing could prepare them. for the horrifying discoveries they're. about to make. Otero police, I don't want to sign. Make. yourself known. This is a horrible. nightmare. What are we looking at here? What are we looking. >> You know, you tell me. This is one of. the worst things that I've ever had to. be involved with.

It's a routine Friday afternoon at the. Otero County Sheriff's Office when. dispatch begins receiving a series of. unusual 911 calls from a young man. Communications. Hi. Good morning. Um I'm. hoping to file a police report. [clears throat] and I might need some. assistance doing so. Okay. And what's your first and last. name? Kane Mayze. Okay. And tell me. what's going on. I've been living abroad.

for the past 6 years and I found out. that my father died last year shortly. after Christmas. I have recently. returned home. I'm living in New Mexico. again and I was hoping to return to the. family property. Since his passing, tons. and tons of family possessions and. property have all gone missing and have. either been sold off, lost, or stolen. and I'm looking to. >> [music]. >> reassume possession of the property, but. there are people squatting in the house.

Do you know who these people are? I do. I could give you first and last names, but not anything in much else. Kane goes on to clarify that the. squatters inside his deceased father's. property are actually family members, mainly his uncle Victor, [music] who. allegedly took over the property and is. living there with Kane's grandmother and. his stepbrother. He also seemingly. claims that his uncle Victor has sold. off valuable assets, [music] including. firearms and expensive jewelry belonging. to his father. The dispatcher logs the.

information Kane provides and passes it. along for legal follow-up. However, not. long after this first contact, on a. Monday morning in January 2025, Kane. calls again, but this time it's for. something strangely different. Dispatch. Hi there. Um I was calling because I'm. wondering what would it take for me to. request a wellness check on somebody? A. welfare check on. my grandmother, Mary Mayze.

Okay. The sergeant is aware. They are on. an emergency call right now. As soon as. they are done, they will head up there. to do a welfare check. Okay, excellent. Thank you, ma'am. You're welcome. A couple of hours after. Kane requests a welfare check for his. grandmother, Mary, he calls police again. for the third time to share new updates. To the Otero Communications, you're on a. recorded line. How can I help you? Hi. My name is Kane. I called earlier. regarding the wellness. So, Sergeant Nordquist is going to give.

you a call back. They have not responded. there yet because they've been tied up. with a warrant service where the person. doesn't want to come out. >> No, that's okay. We stopped by on our. way down and everything is locked up. tight. That's why I was returning your. call cuz you said if. and that I should call you back. All. right. And like I said, they're tied up. with an emergency. Yes, sir. >> We got to worry about the officers and. make sure they're safe. >> Yes. Thank you so much for. understanding. I will Okay. I will let. the sergeant know then. Following this. latest call from Kane, the welfare check.

is officially canceled and officers are. no longer dispatched to the property. At. this point, the dispatcher has no reason. to suspect anything other than some kind. of family dispute and the situation. appears to have resolved itself for now. In reality, something far more. calculated is already in motion and the. family involved will soon be implicated. in a scheme that will lead detectives. down one of the most twisted murder. plots they've ever handled. That same Monday, a few hours after.

Kane's 911 calls, a man arrives at the. police station in the afternoon with an. oddly timed request. Hello, sir. Hey, how you doing? Doing. well. Sergeant Nordquist. Mike Fledge. Mike, it's nice to meet you. How can I. help you today? Okay. Well, my. brother-in-law helps us take care of my. my my mother-in-law. Okay. >> And he normally is. very conscientious about showing up when. he says he's going to show up and.

everything. Yeah. And we have this you. know, we schedule him. We've been taking. care of my mother-in-law for 7 years. Okay. >> She's 92 years old. So, anyway, we. normally communicate quite a bit during. the week and stuff, you know. So, >> [music]. >> are you wanting to check on him or your. your mother-in-law? >> No, on him. And he lives on Nogal. Yes. Yes, he And. somebody somebody had called earlier. We. were out busy, but someone had called in. for a a welfare check, but they canceled. us prior to us getting up there because. they said whoever was, and I can go look.

and find the name, that said that house. was locked up tight and then nobody was. up there. The person Sergeant Nordquist. is referring to is Mike's nephew-in-law, Kane Mayze, and it appears that both. Mike and Kane are concerned about family. members. Though the family dynamics are. becoming tricky to keep up with for the. sergeant, [music] Mike is about to make. one thing about Kane crystal clear. Do. you know a Kane Mayze? Yeah, I do know. him. That's part of the problem. Okay. So, what's the problem there? Okay. Well, I think he's trying to.

trying to keep us from going over there. Look, the house is owned by his father. Yeah. Well, the owner of the house, okay, is Frank Barrera and he's. deceased. Frank is deceased. >> Yeah. Victor, his brother, stayed was. living with him along with Kane's. grandmother and his stepbrother, Killian. As Mike continues explaining the complex. family dynamics to the sergeant, one. thing becomes clear. Three people are. missing, all close relatives of Mike and.

Kane. But before Mike leaves, there's. something serious he needs to warn the. sergeant about. I'm going to get one of my deputies and. we're going to go out to the address and. see what we can see. See if we can find. Okay, let me give you some heads-up. His dad had a lot of guns, Frank, before. he died, and he taught Kane how to. shoot. And when Kane came the other day, I. didn't finish my story. Huh? When I. pulled up there, okay, and I I I. hollered out the window for a bit cuz I.

could The gate's closed, right? Yeah. Okay. And then a person comes to where I. can see about this much of him, right? Up there. And I go, "Hey, Ben! Ben!". And he goes, "No, it's me, Kane.". When he walks down to his patio, he's armed. I says, "Well, have you seen Victor?" He. says, "No, nobody's up here.". Okay. So, I think if I were you, I would look. through the two guys. because. he I think he knows how to shoot and I.

don't know what if there were any like. rifles and stuff like that where he. could be. Yeah. But anyway, so [clears throat] I. had his phone number, but then after I. had his phone number, he said, "Yeah, my. phone number." He started texting. "Your. grandmother's missing. Your uncle's. missing. Your stepbrother's missing,". right? And this is what he's talking to. me about. He's a pathological liar, man. I think he's up to no good. I really do. You guys got to be really careful. He said he just got off the line with. Sergeant Nordquist or North. He never He. never called us.

Cuz. we never called or contacted him. It's becoming clear to the sergeant that. something is off. Sensing this won't be. a routine welfare check, Sergeant. Nordquist takes note of Mike's concerns. and prepares to head out to the house. What makes this case so unique isn't. just the crime scene officers will soon. walk into, but the way police have to. piece it together using advanced. forensics and strategic elicitation to. cut through the lies. And as the. investigation unfolds, this will prove. to be one of the most resource-intensive.

cases for everyone involved with. constant pressure, long hours, and. difficult decisions at every step. Many. of us deal with our own pressures and. emotional struggles and sometimes all it. takes is talking [music] to someone to. begin working through them. There was a. time when I got into a pretty bad. argument with a close friend a while. back and it just stuck with me. I kept. replaying it, what I said, what they. said, whether I was in the wrong, and I. didn't really have anyone I could talk. to about it without it turning into a. whole thing or someone picking sides. I.

just kept telling myself I'd get over it. eventually, but eventually never really. came and at some point, [music] I. realized that having someone to talk to. who's completely outside of your life, who can just give you a fresh [music]. perspective with no bias, makes a huge. difference. That's why I've partnered. with today's sponsor, BetterHelp. Starting therapy can feel like a huge. step, but BetterHelp actually makes it. really simple. You take a short [music]. quiz, get matched with a licensed. therapist, and if it's not the right. fit, you can switch anytime at no extra. cost, which I think [music] is huge.

because finding the right therapist. makes all the difference. And I'm not. the only one who thinks so. Over 6. million [music] people have used. BetterHelp, earning it a 4.8 out of 5. rating on the App Store. Click the link. in the description or go to. betterhelp.com/doctorinsanity. to get 10% off your first month. With. that said, let's get back to the. investigation. Approximately an hour after talking to. Mike, Sergeant Nordquist and a group of. officers head to the property to conduct. a welfare check. Based on Mike's.

previous concerns, officers approach the. house cautiously in case they encounter. Cain. I got an open open door. SHERIFF'S OFFICE, SHERIFF'S OFFICE, if. you're in there make yourself known. SHERIFF'S OFFICE. Stay here with search. Stay here with. search.

Got you. Yeah, I was going to say everything's. stacked and piled. The door knob was locked on this. Literally when I went like that I was. like. the door just kept going I was like. Puzzled by the home's disarray, officers. leave after confirming no one is inside.

With boxes stacked throughout the home. and both of Victor's cars, the blue and. green Subarus missing, officers assume. the family may have moved out. In. reality, the clutter wasn't accidental. It was intentionally staged to conceal. evidence of foul play and it has done. exactly that. None of that is apparent now, so. Sergeant Nordquist calls Mike on the. phone to update him on the situation. This is where the two men will slowly. start to pick up on just how sketchy.

this whole ordeal is. Hello sir. So we. went up to that address. So we cleared. the residence, there was nobody inside. There's no vehicles matching the. descriptions of the Subarus you gave on. the property. So but there was no signs. of a struggle, no signs of any foul play. that we could determine. There were some. boxes that appeared to be like being. packed up, but other than that, that's. all we got. >> is all three people were miss- that were. staying there at the house, but. definitely the [music] king of the kings. is the kicker that you know he's the one.

that did all that. He called, got your. name, and then he was able to send me. that text saying that he spoke to you. And then he called back later and. canceled the deal, right? Yes sir. And. on the face of it it looks super. sketchy, but there was no indication. that we could see of any foul play or a. struggle or anything. >> yes sir. As the sergeant tries to. reassure Mike, even he begins to wonder. if the scene is hiding more than it. appears. A few hours later that afternoon, Nordquist returns to the station and.

calls Cain trying to understand why he. canceled the welfare check and why, most. strangely, no one was inside the house. Hi, this is Sergeant Nordquist at the. Sheriff's office. Is this Is this Mr. Mays? Yes sir, how are you? Uh the. reason why I'm calling is in regards to. you. Earlier this morning you had. contacted our office to do a welfare. check on a family member? That's. correct. Who is that family member to. you? It's my grandmother. Your. grandmother? Uh who lives up there with. with your grandmother at. the 121 Nogal? That would be an uncle of.

mine and my brother. Do you have any. information on them attempting to move. anywhere? I was told that my brother and. my grandmother are planning to move. soon. So the reason why I'm calling is. we went up to that address because Mr. Bloody stopped by. Um Yeah, he was the. one who recommended that we give you. guys a call. He seemed pretty upset. He. was looking for Vic. So we went inside. we went inside the residence to make. sure that nobody was hurt or injured. Nothing was broken into, we didn't see. any signs of struggle or any signs of. foul play. Did you text Mr. Bloody at.

all today? I mentioned that we stopped. by and I had given you guys a call and. everything was okay. Who Who told you. that everything was okay? Dispatch. coordinator, I don't remember her name. Cuz the information that I got was that. you called back and said you went up. there and everything was okay. Correct. And what was in that text message to Mr. Bloody? That's what I'm confused with. Um I let him know that I had tried to. call you and the dispatch officer said. that you were tied up with. it sounded like a pretty hostile. situation. The way the text message.

reads was that you had made contact with. me and I know for sure and you know for. sure that that didn't happen. So that. way it was it looked kind of weird. Naturally, Nordquist doesn't know what. to make of Cain's message to Mike in. which he seems to falsely claim to have. spoken with the sergeant. Suspecting. Cain is hiding something, Nordquist ends. the call and immediately requests a. search warrant for a second search of. the house. While they wait for the. warrant to be processed, all police can. do now is hope the missing trio turns up.

safe. A hope that is far removed from. the gruesome reality awaiting them just. a few hours from now. Early on a Wednesday morning that week, around 10:00 a.m., something strange. happens about 200 yards from the house. where the trio vanished. A passerby. takes notice and calls 911. 911, what's. your emergency? Uh yeah, I'm calling you. about there's a fire off into the into. the mounds area. We I called before.

about 2 minutes ago. So. >> We drove down the road to see if we. could get a better view of the fire to. help you guys out. Okay. Well, we have already sent out the fire. department, so we will get units headed. that way to see if they can locate. Yeah. Okay. I stood at the top. of that road for a second, I'll be able. to see it. We'll let him know. Shortly after the call, two deputies are. dispatched to investigate the fire. Once. they arrive at the reported location, one of them spots something disturbing.

in the distance. A burned, flipped over. vehicle matching one of Victor's missing. cars. We got tire tracks towards the direction. I walked. Just follow the path. I got the vehicle, it's smoking. I got. couple sets of shoe impressions, tire. tracks, all that. 99% sure there was a. page in us. spinal cord.

um in here in this vehicle. Look right in here. Yeah. That looks like a human, dude. This thing's burnt hot. Yeah. Buffalo Slaters and his team is on the. way. As officers look inside the car, they.

can see what appears to be the burned. remains of three people, too badly. damaged by the fire to identify them at. the scene. Suspecting a homicide, they. call in Sergeant Nordquist and it. wouldn't take long for him to connect. the dots. Sub, this might be this might. be a Subaru that's that's a vehicle that. they have unaccounted for yet. Look. right here. Oh, for sure. You see it? It's right Do you see a Subaru anywhere? I'm good looking in here.

Just given the circumstances, this. actually might be a one of the missing. people. >> What's that right there? I was looking at that, too. >> Oh yeah. That's a skull cap right there. Yep. That's by one of our missing people. with the missing vehicle from up here. Huh? From up here? Yeah, I guess Brad he. he suspects some guy named Cain killed. most of his relatives that live here. And this vehicle I I think is a Subaru. Looks like it. >> really fresh, dude. There's more over here. He had to have.

put it out himself cuz it would have. caught this whole place on fire. What officers are beginning to suspect. is horrifying. Not only do the burned. remains likely belong to the three. missing individuals, but given how. recent the fire is, the person. responsible may have burned the bodies. just hours ago and could still be within. reach of police. So once the scene is. secured and the bodies are sent for. autopsy, a nationwide bolo is issued for. Cain Mays. Although police now believe.

[music] they know what happened and. who's responsible, they have no idea. just how far beyond Cain this plot goes. There are more players involved, more. targets, and a [music] multi-state. homicide case that will exhaust every. resource police have. >> You got to find him. We're afraid of. him. There was one time I should have. died. Probably should be dead twice. And. he was so aggressive. I thought we were. going to die. I thought he was going to. shoot us on the property. More than 24 hours after the fire, officers remain unable to find or.

contact Cain, raising concerns that he. may be on the run. But this is when the. initial autopsy results come in, confirming what officers had feared all. along. The burned victims [music] are. Cain's close relatives, his uncle Victor. Peria, his grandmother Mary Mouser, and. his stepbrother Killian Mays. Beyond. confirming their identities, the autopsy. offers little actionable insight. At. least one victim had a confirmed gunshot.

wound to the head, but the other remains. were too severely burned to identify all. injuries. Investigators surmise that the. victims were likely incapacitated well. before the fire was set. Following these horrific findings, they. begin digging deeper into their main. suspect's background. It turns out Cain. Mays had been living in Canada and. working as an engineer until just a few. months earlier and had several. documented domestic incidents involving. his wife. Hoping she may know where her.

husband is, officers reach out to Cain's. wife on the phone where they'll find out. she might know far more than that. Hello, my name's Justin Mitchell. I'm a. detective with the Otero County. Sheriff's office in New Mexico. Are you. Samantha? Yes, I am. I had a feeling I. might receive a call from you at some. point since I did give you guys a call. Yes, ma'am. You want to tell me from the. beginning like how you met him and your. relationship with him. I've actually. been speaking to the Ontario Provincial. Police because I thought he was messing. with me like I mentioned. So, I'm also.

filing a case against him right now, but. because it's Canadian and now he's an. American, who knows if that's going to. But he was he was a physically violent. with me and I have evidence of it. Yeah, we just met playing video games online. and we started an online relationship. and for a few years it was just. basically we would talk and then one day. he calls me up and says that his father. disowned and he needs to move here right. away. He'd always been verbally. towards me and just in general he had a. weird attitude towards things. Eventually we moved out. Brace yourself.

for this one because I I feel bad that I. didn't come forward. Told people that he. had beaten me and now this has happened. I'm going to I'm going to be honest with. you. Like we both had an alcohol problem, but. I never drank before I met him and he. definitely like pushed that on me and he. he pressured me to drink a lot. Like. there was always a pressure. He wanted. me to do it. He just did start hitting. me. He did start getting violent with. me. Probably should be dead twice. Samantha's statements are nothing short. of horrifying, but even worse she would. share a terrifying recording with.

detectives captured during one of the. numerous domestic incidents [music]. involving Cain. You won't let me go. And I do everything. when you ask. I'll let you go. I don't need to do that. Is this your neck? Yeah. Is this your neck? The rest of this recording is too. disturbing to play on YouTube, but it. clearly documents an alleged serious. domestic violence incident involving. Cain. Investigators now know they must. act quickly as more people including.

Samantha could be in immediate danger. So, later that day after securing. approval for the earlier search warrant. police returned to the victim's house, [music] but this time they bring. specialized chemicals called Bluestar. used to hunt for hidden blood, bullets. and evidence that may have been cleaned. up. And what they're about to uncover. would reveal just how many crucial clues. officers had missed during the initial. search.

Inside the kitchen detectives spot one. of three spent 22 caliber shell casings. along with a live 22 round. Using. Bluestar they also detect high velocity. blood spatter throughout the home. As. the search continues investigators. notice clear attempts to clean up the. scene and given the precision and speed. with which the bodies were disposed of. they begin to suspect [music] a grim. possibility. This was not the work of a. single perpetrator. But then officers. find something very strange. Condoms and.

pregnancy tests stored with cleaning. supplies near the well house and septic. area. Following these disturbing. findings police would continue searching. the property and contacting Cain's. relatives worried he may already be far. away possibly even on his way back to. Canada. A few days later as detectives continue. searching for leads on Cain they decide. to pay Mike and his wife Lourdes Blette.

a visit. Just like Cain Lourdes also has. personal ties to all three victims. Victor Perillo was her brother, Killian. Mays was her grandnephew and Mary Mouser. was her brother's partner. But before. investigators can hope to learn anything. about Cain's whereabouts or possible. accomplices they must first deliver the. tragic news to the couple. Yeah. He's got. He's got a nice name too. >> [laughter]. >> Hi Lourdes, how are you? Detective Shari.

Bobby. Hi, this is Ashley. Do you mind mind if I sit down? Well, I. I would like to give you guys a little. bit of information. As I told you. yesterday, do want to let you know that. there was a vehicle fire that was in. close proximity to the house. There were. three subjects that were not able to be. identified that were inside of that. vehicle. I cannot tell you who those. subjects are. On the property?

In the Subaru or that I I can't tell you. what vehicle it was for sure right now. Again So, you already know there can't. I can't But you know there's three. people? Yes. I'm really sorry that. I even have to to share this information. with you. Um This is a horrible nightmare. I mean it's horrendous.

>> I agree with you 100%. This is Oh, no. one of the worst things that I've ever. had to be involved with. Upon hearing. the news Lourdes is beyond devastated. What makes this situation even scarier. is that she fears whoever is responsible. may not be done yet. He's a psychopath. He's a psychopath. Cain, I didn't want. to say that. I didn't want to drop in. the total, but he's crazy. You got to find him. We're afraid of.

him. He doesn't even ask how my mother. is and that's his. blood grandmother. Oh my god, how can it be? >> [laughter]. >> Um Michael. How can it be? Um We We hoped for better, but. >> No. It's not even imagination. We are. working on. so many different leads right now.

Just catch him. So, everybody will be. safe because he's crazy. >> In my worst imagination. I thought I didn't know how to tell you. guys this. But I was going to say, can. you look for the infrared and see if. there's any graves on the property? That's what I was going to tell y'all. You know how they can tell if it's a. grave? That's what's something that's. been burned and this has got to be the. worst crime of the year. Mexico pardon, I haven't heard anything. this horrendous on the news lately. yet. Indeed this kind of killing doesn't. happen every day, but investigators are. about to hear another person of interest.

from the couple. Someone who may know. more about where Cain is. So, in our in. our job you will hear law enforcement. say a lot, you know, it's what you know. and what you can prove. And right now. we're working on collecting the. information so we can prove what we. believe we know. Mhm. Exactly. We don't know what he did all those. years. Wherever he was. What What did he. do? Who did he know? What was his. >> and Anna. Mhm. Wait, do you have no. idea? I would even be worried about his. sister Brecken Rozell, so-called step.

sister, you know. When he that one text. he sent me about working with the uh. over in Roswell or whatever he said he. Yeah, he was saying something about. helping out his sister with her crazy. ex. Crazy ex, yeah. Something like that. that you had told me. Yes, I think it. was a relationship I can't remember that. at the beginning that she wasn't with. that guy anymore because of that. It was. like I was supposed to feel sorry for. her or something. When they first were. like chit-chatting and everything. >> Oh, in the conversation, okay. She's. talking about Thanksgiving day parade. I. think that they said something about.

that. Mike would go on to identify the. woman in question as 28-year-old. Cassandra Douglas, >> [music]. >> Cain's half sister. And based on his. concerns and the evidence from the home. search suggesting at least two people. were likely involved in the cover-up. detectives begin to wonder if Cassandra. is the next key piece to the puzzle. So, with this new lead the interview. concludes and investigators [music]. shift their focus to Cassandra and her. potential connections to the homicide. Coincidentally as investigators prepare.

to call Cassandra the next day she. reaches out to them instead with a very. peculiar 911 call. Hi, is there any way that you would mind. putting in a welfare check on my brother. Cain Mays? What's the address? He told. me that he was going to 680 Cox Canyon. Cloudcroft in Mexico. 680 Cox Canyon? Yes, ma'am. He was supposed to meet up. with our uncle and told me that if he. didn't come back last night and.

definitely if he didn't come back in the. morning that I needed to call you guys. He's been part of a missing person's. thing and Mike has been acting very. aggressive and hostile towards us. Not. only is Cassandra claiming her brother. Cain is also missing, but she's. suggesting that her uncle Mike might. have something to do with it. Once. investigators catch wind of this 911. call they immediately sense something is. off. The timing is highly suspicious. almost as if it's part of a plan to. deflect suspicion away from Cain. So,

later that day officers are sent to her. address with one goal in mind assess the. situation and determine whether her. claims hold any weight or if it's just. an attempt to mislead the investigation. Hello. Hello. Hi. Are you Candace? No, Candace is across street. Okay, what's. Are you Cassandra? I am. Okay. So, my. name's Ryan Poston Rider. Hi. I'm a. detective with the Ruidoso Police. Department. Hello. Do you have a second. to talk to me? What's up? Um so, did you.

make a 911 call for a welfare check? I. did for Cain Mays. For Cain. Yeah. >> Yeah. That was you that made that call. Okay. Have you heard from Cain? I have. not. No, you still haven't heard from. him? I have not. How do you know Cain? He's my brother. He's your brother? >> brother. And when was the last time you heard. from him? Uh. he was supposed to go up to meet with. Mike. I think on the 21st. He told me that if he didn't show up um. by the morning of the 22nd.

that I needed to file a missing person's. report because I already have three. family members missing. Killian and Mary. were supposed to go up to Albuquerque. I. haven't seen those two alive since. 11:23. Give me just a second. >> Okay. Mhm. Officers have no clue at this point, but. Cassandra isn't alone. Right this. moment, their prime suspect, Cain Mays, is hiding inside the very house they're. standing in front of.

Sorry, we're also having issues with a. psychotic ex of mine, so. >> you're going through a lot right now. A. little bit. And then with Cain going. missing and Mike. presumably having like over half of his. guns, it's a really really long story. Okay. >> And not one that I'm 100% familiar with. cuz. Cain just came back into my life. September of last year. So, like I wish I had all my facts. straight. >> [laughter]. >> I completely understand. No big deal. Um.

how did they come into your life? Bit through Cain. Okay. So, Cain comes. into your life and then now you meet. Mary and Killian. Mhm. Okay. And then. now all of them are missing. Mhm. And. have you talked Did you ever have direct. contact with Mike? I never had direct contact with Mike, no. I just heard him screaming from the. hill both times. As she did earlier, Cassandra doubles down on her. accusations, suggesting that officers. should focus on Mike, implying he may be.

involved in the disappearances. Officers. take note of her statements and ask her. to give them a call if Cain shows up. again. Their goal remains unclear, but. now that they have a story, they can. start verifying. So, a few hours later, as police. continue looking for Cain, an officer. decides to stop by the neighborhood. again and speak with Cassandra's. neighbors to see if they've heard or. seen anything. According to them, Cassandra hasn't been living alone. A. man with long dark hair has been staying. with her for the past few months.

Additionally, witnesses report seeing. the same man driving Victor's missing. green Subaru and that it was also seen. parked outside Cassandra's residence. multiple times. Realizing the. description of the man matches Cain, officers return to the station to dig. deeper into Cassandra's earlier claims, where they will very quickly uncover. some major contradictions. Even though Cassandra insisted she had. only recently met Cain, investigators. discover an older Facebook photo of the. two together proof they've known each.

other for years. But that's just the. first lie because officers who were out. looking for Cain also recover. surveillance footage from a nearby. Walmart showing Cain and Cassandra. shopping together alongside her sons and. daughter. Besides buying groceries and. food, investigators spot cleaning. supplies like bleach and vinegar along. with [music] multiple bottles of. kerosene, items that closely align with. what would be needed to clean up a. violent crime and start a fire. At this.

point, investigators are unsure if. Cassandra is actively hiding a wanted. fugitive or if she's being controlled. and forced to cooperate with someone who. has already killed three members of her. own family. With suspicion mounting, detectives. obtain a search warrant for Cassandra's. house. Then, around 8:00 p.m. that. night, a group of officers return to the. property, taking up positions outside. the house as they prepare to raid it. Occupants of 7 Morningside, this is the.

Roswell Police Department. Exit the. front door with your hands up. Do it. now. You got shield? Yep. Roswell Police, search warrant.

I guess we're just going to boot this. thing. Yep. One more. One more. Roswell Police, 7 Morningside, make. yourself known. All right, we're going to pull in. I'm. going to take left. Ready? Okay.

Small room. You know what? There's another door. here. Ready? Yep. Yep. We've got their I'm going to go I got a. hallway with the. >> The this looks like the refrigerator. kitchen. Move it up. Three on me. Move. it up. And Cassandra Jolly is still on the left. here, huh? Yeah.

Look, they got some La Muerte stuff. right here. Some La Muerte. There's a See that? Ready? Yep. This is some weird. monitor for the camera that's in the. window. Mhm. I wonder if this guy's on [ __ ]. terrorist watch. Did you remember where. those cigarette packs were?

I had a Marlboro and then I had a. Yeah, I saw that one in the closet. >> one that your big cans are all over this. room. Your red bull cans. Inside, something about the house. immediately feels off to the officers as. they observe unusual posters, graffiti, and other unsettling details scattered. throughout. They then make their way. into the bathroom, where one officer. recalls hearing that something might be. hidden underneath the house.

I highly doubt that. The back wall is nothing? No, we have a door. I'm sure this is what he's referring to. Like under all this? That's what he said. He said the. neighbor across the street said that he. [music] lived here and then there's a. door underneath the washing machine. dryer. At least it's the basement. Cuz didn't they say there's another. secret exit or something here? There's a. couple windows. What do they go to? >> [music]. >> They used to be filled in. They look up. there already or not?

Ready? All right, we're good. Go ahead. Set there. All right, we're good. Yep. I'll hold it.

No dust on it. Oh, that don't fit. That. Mhm. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. That's. too new. Yeah, that's fairly new. Mhm. All right.

Is that a water leak there? It's kind of weird to have a door right. there, too, huh? At the center of the basement sits a. plastic storage tote, tool box, duffel. bags, and other various items. Officers.

notice there's no dust on the items and. whoever left them behind was in a hurry, possibly trying to leave unnoticed. Beyond the basement, police would go on. to find something highly suspicious, documents [music] belonging to one of. the victims alongside paperwork linked. to Cain's father and live .22 caliber. ammunition. Following these discoveries, investigators secure the scene and begin. working to obtain a real-time location. warrant for Cassandra's phone. With. their suspicions growing that Cassandra.

fled with Cain, officers know they need. to locate them quickly before they. vanish, potentially escaping to Canada. 12 hours later, investigators strike. gold. The warrant for Cassandra's phone. is successfully approved and in a major. development, Verizon pings Cassandra's. phone nearly 1,000 miles away. She's no. longer in New Mexico, but in Hernando, Mississippi, inside a Super 8 Motel.

With this discovery, the case becomes. multi-state with police in Mississippi. quickly briefed on the investigation. Officers are then dispatched to locate. Cassandra. This is the final phase in. the case and what happens next will. determine whether police get the. critical answers they need or lose the. lead entirely. As officers make their way to the Super. 8 Motel, their primary objectives are to. extract information about Cain's. whereabouts, test Cassandra's. statements, and determine how deeply she. may have been involved in the homicide.

of her own relatives. When officers. finally arrive at the motel, something. immediately feels off. Miss Jolly? Yes. Miss Jolly or actually technically I'm. Douglas. This is who I had my ex with. last week. So, what's what's going on? What are we. looking [music] at here? I don't know. No. No, you tell me. All I know. is that. my brother went missing on the 21st. We were trying to investigate his. property. We thought Mary and Killian.

had left. And then Mike came down and started. being aggressive and hateful and. shooting rounds. And. >> [music]. >> we've already I to file this with the. Roswell Police Department down in New. Mexico. Would you consent to a search of. your vehicle? You can search the car and you can. search the house. I don't care. [music]. Okay. Interestingly, Cassandra now seems on. the verge of an emotional breakdown for. reasons the officers are yet to. understand. After all, only 24 hours.

have passed and seemingly no new. information has been relayed to her. Neither news of the murder nor that Cain. is the main suspect nor that her house. was just searched. So, to get to the. bottom of her emotional reaction, Mississippi officers on scene. coordinated a call with special agent. Kyle Graham in New Mexico who's been. tracking the growing list of. contradictions in Cassandra's. statements. Using those inconsistencies, [music] the detective is about to. carefully test Cassandra's story and see. how far she cracks. Do you mind grabbing.

those, taking your waffle upstairs with. you? I'm not upstairs, I'm downstairs. Downstairs. All right, yeah. 104. He's talking to detectives two years ago. at your house in Roswell, correct? Yeah. I did all the work there, showed up and. I had to leave. So, I brought them over. here to Mississippi. Why is that anything wrong? No, there's nothing there's nothing. wrong with that. What we're trying to do is we're trying. to figure out what's going on with you. and your family.

I don't know. I [snorts] haven't even. like I just met Dylan. >> and my grandmother for the first time in. my entire life in November. So, were they there whenever you guys. were there? No. Where were they at? I don't know. The. house was empty and there were boxes in. the middle of the living room. That was. his dad's property. He was supposed to go to him afterwards, but he wasn't here. He had to go up to.

Canada. And so, who was driving in the. in the dead house? Like he could drive a. car. I don't They all could. I know that they. had that little. blue car. And who was driving the green. car? That I don't know. As far as I know, that car is not drivable. Well, we have we have video of Cain. driving the the green Subaru. Huh. And we have information from the. neighbors that the green Subaru was was. at your house at one point in time. This.

is what I want, okay? I I just want. I know you know a little bit a little. bit more than what you're telling me. I don't know if you're trying to protect. Cain or if you're. scared. I'm scared just because I I don't know. what's going on. Listen, we've been working this case for. three days straight. And I know a lot more information than. I'm telling you. Of course you. I'm trying to see if you're going to be. honest with me. With every sentence, the detective. becomes more convinced that Cassandra is.

hiding something she fears could. incriminate her brother or even herself. But, there is something a lot more. concrete detectives previously uncovered. and the detective is about to leverage. it to completely trap Cassandra. Hey, are you aware that um Cain made a police. report whenever he got to the house. originally, the very first [music] time, about people squatting in his father's. house? Yeah, because they weren't. supposed to be there. They hadn't paid. all any of the mortgage on it. We found.

documents showing that they were still. using Frank's credit cards and Frank has. been dead. And that all of the bills were still in. Frank's name and they were still using. that. And so, I told him that that was illegal. and that he needed to make a police. report because you can't be using Don't. stick that in my face, honey. You That's like identity theft. Is it. true that Cain didn't even know his dad. died? Yeah. He didn't know that his dad died until. he came back to the states. He found his obituary.

He found his obituary shortly before. on the internet. That's how he figured. it out. So, almost a year later he finds he. finds out his dad died. And I know that he's upset about that. But, that's sure that's not enough. reason to kill somebody. He didn't do that. >> [music]. >> 112 Then what? So, did he kill somebody? No. [music]. No. I don't understand what you're.

trying to accuse him of. Well, that doesn't sound very. convincing. I don't know what he's trying to accuse. him of. I mean, he's asking what the question. That doesn't [music] that doesn't sound. convincing. Sure enough, that doesn't sound too. convincing to the detective because. Cassandra has seemingly slipped up. At. this point, no one had told her that the. missing family members were dead or that. Cain was suspected of killing them. Realizing her mistake, Cassandra quickly.

starts backpedaling to regain control of. the narrative. You got anything else, Cassandra, that you want to tell me? Do. you really think Cain killed them or. hurt them? I'm pretty concerned. I don't think three people just vanish. off the face of the earth, especially. when they're. two of them are elderly. And then Cain. just comes into comes in from Canada and. all hell breaks loose. That's kind of. [music] suspicious to me. God, I'm so. stupid. I wouldn't even think to put two. and two together like that.

But, Mike Mike was so and scary when he. came down and he was so aggressive. And I thought we were going to die. I. thought he was going to shoot us on the. property. Well, you didn't even see that. he had a gun. Cain told me that he had one. And he was mad enough Oh my god, he was. so mad. As a last-ditch effort, Cassandra goes. back to [music] accusing Mike of being. responsible for the disappearances. But, in fact, officers in New Mexico have.

already quietly debunked that claim, information they are holding back. >> [music]. >> for the right time and place. Before. leaving, they also check Cassandra's car. where they find belongings hastily. packed up. But, Cassandra explains this. as a desperate attempt to run away from. her abusive ex-boyfriend. So, shortly. afterwards, the officers wrap up their. visit. But, in doing so, they've proven. something crucial. They can find. Cassandra whenever they want, something. she clearly didn't anticipate.

It seems as though the confrontation. went nearly perfectly for the. detectives. [music] But, Cassandra has a. crucial secret that had went unnoticed. at the motel. Cain had traveled to. Mississippi alongside her, was staying. nearby and had successfully hidden from. officers, marking [music] yet another. moment where she misleads police about. his whereabouts. So, less than an hour. after police leave the motel, the two. would begin plotting, coming up with a. plan they think will [music] get them. out of this gruesome mass murder.

At 2:00 p.m., Cassandra's vehicle is. seen in front of the Hernando Police. Department. Cain would step out and. calmly walk into the station. 15 minutes. later, Cain would be seated in the. department's interview room two. alongside Detective Stovall. The sudden. appearance of Cain would leave. detectives with little room to prepare. So, special agent Silva, a New Mexico. detective already working this case, would be placed on call to assist in the. interview. It's important to note that.

this is an interview and not an. interrogation as Cain has agreed to. speak voluntarily and has not been. detained. In reality, this interview can. only work against [music] him. But, in. his mind, this is both his and. Cassandra's final chance at freedom. Agent Silva would begin the interview by. making this crystal clear. And And. before we get any any further, I just I. do want to let you know that you are not. under Miranda rights. You are not. anything like that.

Um you are free to leave at any point. Um you don't have to answer any of my. questions, anything like that. You you. can say, "Hey, I don't want to answer. that question." If you want to, you can. go over another question and we can skip. to the next one. But, I do want to let. you know that you are free to leave, okay? Thank you, sir. All right. After realizing he's free to. walk out at any time, Cain shifts. tactics. He begins probing the detective. for information, trying to figure out. how much investigators have bought into. the false narrative he's been.

intentionally feeding them. Can I ask. you something? It's on one hand. kind of nice to talk to somebody from. Otero. Also, maybe a little concerning. Did we have to speak directly because. I'm. considered a missing person? Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you. about is is there's so many like missing. persons, there's a lot of phone calls to. the sheriff's office. So, like why would why would somebody be. claiming that you're missing and there's. also some other missing. reports going on? Like there's a lot of.

firearms missing, right? There's a lot. of. vehicles missing. Um we want to talk to. you and get your side of the story of. what's going on. I was trained to come. in and speak with somebody in person. And what happened with that? On my way. down to uh Alamogordo, I gave another uncle a phone call. because I had seen him on the property. and he was a very looming presence at. the time. I was hoping to stop in and. ask him about some things and.

some personal aspects that were going. on. I wound up getting run off the. property and had to kind of go into. hiding because I know his uh. influence and the extent of his company. And which which uncle is that? Mike Bleth. So, sweet So, Mike. ran you off the property. You had. questions for him. Is that is that what. I'm understanding? Yes, sir. So, when did when did this happen? It. was when I was on my way down on the. 21st. I kind of explained the situation to my.

sister a little bit and I told her, "If. you don't hear from me, call somebody.". I know I keep jumping around and just. trying to confirm everything. So, you. went to Mike's house to talk to him and. he shot at you? Correct. Yes, sir. Cuz I want to talk to. Mike about that. Like, why are you. shooting at people through front doors? That's kind of That's kind of dangerous. That was this week. That was on the. 21st. I would absolutely appreciate you taking. a look. Kane makes his alibi clear. Mike, the.

man who kicked the entire investigation. off in the first place, is the suspect. detectives need to be focusing on. Alleging he shot at them through the. front door when they approached the. home. Unfortunately, detectives have. spent far more time investigating than. Kane realizes, allowing Agent Silva to. completely debunk Kane's story. Simply. put, there are no bullet holes or any. signs of a shooting on the property. Okay. So, so here's the thing, Kane, is I'm. going to start uh going through some of.

your. some of your story here. Okay, that's. not making good sense to me. I'm not. saying that you're lying, I'm just. saying I don't think it's I don't think. it's fully. fully there yet, if that makes sense. Um. >> It It was kind of cut off uh. in the garage. >> to talk to. Can you hear me? Yes, sir. You went to. Mike's house. Mike shot at you this week. through the front door. You announced. yourself. How come you didn't call 911?

I know that they very much do not take. too kindly to law enforcement. Okay. And I kind of really hoped for. that to be avoided. >> So, here's the thing on that is I have. I have some investigators. that are there at Mike's house. that have been to that Mike's house. There are no. bullet holes through his front door. There are no bullet holes through. through the siding.

Um. I'm not They're not seeing you on his. cameras at his house. So, that's what I'm saying is some of. it's not making sense. So, did you. actually go to Mike's house and knock on. the door? I did. >> Cuz you're not on camera. Did they change. >> his cameras? His cameras go back this. week. They go back last week. Um. I'm not seeing you anywhere on there. We had. a ton of different. um. game cams that are all on their uh.

SD cards. He doesn't have any of the chips from. the 21st? No, I'm I'm saying he has video. surveillance of this week. and of last week, but I don't not They. are not seeing you anywhere on the. cameras. Kane appears shocked by these details. Whatever he thought happened that could. favor his story simply didn't. Kane.

would sit in silence for an extended. period of time, seemingly in denial, but. his plan was so terribly miscalculated. The. If they still have the footage, they should totally show me pulling up. I parked along the mailbox.

Kind of behind it a bit, not necessarily. pulled up past it. Uh. walked right up the drive up to. the. It's kind of tucked in between. the [clears throat] slope on the hill. and then it goes into the house where. the stone steps are. That metal storm door.

Okay. Just want to ask. I'm I'm just trying to give you a way. a path. so that you could see. And that was. early afternoonish I got there. Between 1:00 and 3:00, I believe it was. I have I'd have to look at the log, but. I don't have it. But if they have that footage still,

then I'm definitely on it. Kane proceeds to give a nearly 10-minute. explanation of where he was parked. Unnecessarily complex explanations like. these are usually a telltale sign to the. detectives that the suspect has shifted. into a defensive state, looking for any. validation that the detective is. believing their lies. Agent Silva takes. note of this and begins leaning deeper. This time pressing Kane on his sister. Cassandra and her potential involvement.

Previously, police recovered and. documented strange items during the. home's crime scene search, and it's. still unclear why they were there. Silva. plans to use these details to force Kane. into defending Cassandra's innocence, a. tactic that will create a contradicting. story compared to what Cassandra told. officers just hours prior. But so, are. you aware that we spoke to um. Cassandra? Yes, sir. And I got to. >> I ask is I'm just trying to get.

like if if if something happened up. there, Kane, I I want to know like. whether an argument going on. And I know. that you were up there in January. Okay, we can we can kind of get away from. that. You were up there in January. If something happened up there, I I want. to know what happened. Okay? If there was an argument, if. something happened, like kind of help me. help you. Okay? What happened when you were up there in. January of this year? I'm trying to.

figure out everything that has happened. as well. That's part of why I wanted to. speak with you guys and kind of get you. involved in looking. Um but I'm I'm. I'm going to be honest with you, I'm. confused on these on these timelines. Um. You You were up there this week at some. point and you were up there last week at. some point. So, what happened this week. and last week while you were up there. with the with the family? That's what I want to know.

They weren't there. Nothing's happened. Were you You were at the house on in. Benton on the 18th of January, correct? I'm not sure. The The reason I ask is because uh. Cassie has been in contact and she. showed us a screenshot. um. January 18th at 3:57.

It's between you and her that says wait. quietly. Uh And it says. wait for me. That's actually. something that I was going to try to. find. And it says I believe this is from you. or from her. That's the text that says. wait for me and [music] it says I'm. safe. I'm I'm sorry? Those are the texts that. say wait and that I'm safe. It says I'm safe, wait for me, and then. there's a response that says. got you. I have eyes on the front. So.

far, so good. What is that What is that. >> That's the day. That's the day that Mike came up to bed. Okay. At this point, Kane must be starting to. realize Cassandra may not have been on. his side as much as he had thought. Not. only are the police beginning to take a. clear side, but his only teammate might. be against him as well, perhaps. explaining why she dropped him off at. the police station. Note that Kane at. this point can avoid any question he.

wants and, more importantly, can leave. whenever he wants. Even Agent Silva. decides to take a brief step away from. the phone, but Kane would stay, instead. letting the officer in the room in on. what's going through his mind. Between you, me, and the walls, I really think. someone is trying to pin years worth of. [ __ ]. on me. cuz I came back home at the wrong time. and interrupted something.

I'm just here. helping these guys. I don't know what you really think of. them. Look, they're only asking the questions. I'm. just sitting here. Yes, just Silva seems like a trustworthy. detective. We used to joke though and I would say.

I'd make a great scapegoat. I'm kind of hoping it's not the case. this time. I came here today. to ask you guys for help. and. talk to people that I knew wouldn't. be necessarily under an outside. influence. >> Right. But do you see how it looks for us? I mean, they have They've They've shown.

physical evidence to this whole. situation. And. you're here you're. one day you're here in Mississippi, no. ties to Mississippi at all. Like. you have no family here. No, sir. You. have nothing here. No, sir. My family. >> [clears throat]. >> died, man. If I was in your If I was in that seat. and a detective 13 hours away on a cell.

phone call told me that my. But who are you related to? My brother. My grandmother and my uncle. Your brother, your grandmother, your. uncle. If somebody called me. and said, "Not only was my brother. killed, but also your grandmother and. your uncle were killed." If somebody. told me that over the phone, you know. what I would be doing? I think I would. be doing. Do you know what I would be doing? I wouldn't be sitting there. staring at a wall. I'd be bawling my eyes out. I'd be. throwing the water bottle across the. room. I'd probably rip this table out of the.

wall. Yeah, but then you guys just rushed in. here and But I wouldn't give a [ __ ] You. got to be here. I wouldn't give a [ __ ]. Because of I'm because of how much my. I'm close with my brother. I'm not close. with my grandma. >> [music]. >> But it still would the fact that that. somebody. did that to my family. Do you understand where I'm coming from. and. >> Well, they asked what I think should. happen to. Mike or whoever did this and. in polite company, I couldn't say.

Back where I'm from, they beat them up a. tree. Right. So, that's more of the response that. that you would expect. But the the the. issue I'm having is there's no emotion. You haven't. You've expressed no. sad You There's no. There We're not getting anything. Which leads me to believe you already. knew this this had occurred. I just didn't know that. Look. Even the officers with no context.

of the case can't help but assume Cain. was involved in the murders, leaving him. to sit in silence as he realizes how. poorly this voluntary interview has. gone. Agent Silva would return and. continue pressing Cain for answers, eventually revealing that he had, in. fact, been inside the house multiple. times the week of the three victims'. disappearance and admitted to helping. Cassandra travel to Mississippi with her. kids, something she lied about earlier. in the motel. Even worse for Cain is.

that as the hours-long interview. progressed, officers behind the scenes. were already taking action. They were. instructed to locate his uncle's stolen. green Subaru, which they suspected Cain. used to drive to Mississippi alongside. Cassandra's own vehicle. After looking. through surveillance footage and. searching around the city, officers hit. the jackpot and tracked down the missing. car. Inside, they found latex gloves, .22 caliber ammunition, an empty Ruger. pistol box, and most importantly, Cain's. passport, tying him directly to the.

stolen vehicle. Now investigators have. exactly what they've been missing, probable cause. And with that, Cain is. no longer free to leave, and he's about. to find out just how massively his. attempt to clear himself and [music]. Cassandra backfired. Smells like blood. Can I mind that and my stuff? Yeah, you. mind standing up for me real quick? Turn. around facing this wall. Yes, sir. Put. your hands on the wall for me.

All right. So, what's going on, man, is you're. going to be going out to the Soda County. Sheriff's Office, all right? You're. going to our jail, all right? Yes, sir. All right, walk this way. >> [clears throat]. >> Back at the Motel 8 in Mississippi, Cassandra would patiently wait for Cain. to return, give her a call, or just show. any signs his interview was over. But as. hours passed, it became clear that. something had gone terribly wrong. Growing worried, Cassandra packed her.

bags and fled alongside her children, making yet another 1,000-mile drive back. to New Mexico. Detectives keep [music]. tracking her phone signal until it. finally stops at her parents' house. By. this point, investigators have more than. enough to justify Cassandra's arrest, but one critical question still remains. Was she directly involved in the. murders? And if so, to what extent? Because of that uncertainty, officers. make a deliberate decision. Rather than. moving in aggressively, only four.

investigators go to the house, keeping. the encounter calm and cooperative. Their goal is to interview Cassandra on. the property and, if possible, apply. enough pressure to turn her against. Cain. If they can do this, they'll be. able to pin both Cain and Cassandra. against each other, forcing them to. incriminate themselves. This is Bryce Daily with the. Lea County Sheriff's Office. We have a. few questions for you. Yes, sir. All. right. No, so there's not 100 of us.

today, there's just three of us. Do you. want me to start from the beginning from. what I know, or do you want to ask me some questions. first? >> No, I'm going to let you tell your. story, and just so that you know, you're. not under arrest. You're not You're free. to leave whenever you want to leave. We. came to you because we talked on the. phone earlier with through the texts. And And what I told her is she needs to. stop overthinking everything and trying. to be a detective herself cuz she's seen. all this stuff and she's trying to put. pieces together and knows that he was. lying to her about things. Yeah. So,

just start at the beginning and tell it. like you told us. So, I wanted to apologize to you because. whenever I spoke to you the last time, I wasn't thinking straight. Not only is Cassandra much more. cooperative this time, but she quickly. admits that she had been dishonest. before and even apologizes. Her father's. comment makes it seem like she's on the. verge of throwing Cain under the bus,

which is exactly what investigators are. here for. So, with the reassurance that. she's not under arrest, Cassandra begins. to share some much-needed details about. how three of her relatives ended up. mysteriously dead. So, I know on. Thursday, we were driving up there and we had just. went through Ruidoso. and he said that he wanted to stop by. Bent real quick. So, he said, "Okay, drop me off here. Um wait here and I will let you know if.

I need anything." I probably left him. alone for like. 45 minutes-ish. Where does he go? He's inside the house. Okay. And he says. that he couldn't find anything. Don't know where anybody's at. And that it's okay for me to come. inside. And [music] I go inside. and like I kept telling you, it smelled. [ __ ] weird in there. Almost like. something had like died within the. walls, like a like an animal or. something. I was already concerned by the fact that. he felt he felt like something had had.

happened. So, I'm I'm trying to. rationalize through that and he's just. saying, "I I'll do it. And we're doing things legally. It's. okay." And then he has me help him He. drives the car off somewhere. and has me help him push it off. And so like this little ditch thing. And at one point, whenever I tried to. say, "Hey, you got Like you need to call. somebody." He said that the majority of. the cops up there are crooked. I worked. in the ER down here.

I I can see how you can think that. sometimes, for sure. No No offense. >> [laughter]. >> So, like I Oh, yeah, no offense to you. guys, either. Investigators are clearly. not fond of Cassandra's strange remark. Though by now, it's becoming clear to. detectives that Cassandra is putting. Cain at the center of everything while. noticeably avoiding any direct mention. of the murders, the cleanup, or the. burned bodies. Instead, she frames. everything vaguely, claiming Cain.

suspected something happened inside the. house, but they didn't look too deeply. into it, and that she was simply helping. him deal with a property dispute. Investigators allow Cassandra to. continue telling her story, but the more. she talks, the more convoluted her. version of events becomes. Then at this. point, she even invites them inside, where the story only grows longer. After. nearly 2 hours of listening, Agent Kyle. Graham decides it's time to push back. So, now we're going to get into to my.

portion, okay? I don't know, there's. been probably a team of 15 of us on this. case. So, we know a lot of. everything about that property. Um. And some of the stuff that you're saying. does make sense and does add up. However, some of the stuff that you're. saying doesn't make sense to me and and. doesn't add up, and quite frankly, I. don't think some of it happened. But I. will tell you right now, I don't feel. like Cain could have done everything. that he did alone, and I think he. included you. into a whole mess of a situation. [music]. I don't believe that you killed anybody. in this house or on that property. I.

strongly believe that. I don't think. that you had any part of murdering. people. But I do strongly believe [music]. that he [ __ ] himself, and he needed. help, and you're a helpful person, and he put. you in a shitty spot and said, "Help me. I need help cleaning this property. I need help cleaning this all this blood. up, and I need help getting these [ __ ]. bodies out of this house." But now's. your chance. I'm giving you the opportunity. Cuz I'm telling you right now, I have. all that I need.

The gig's up. The game's over. Okay? This is This is your opportunity and. your chance to tell me what did he make. you do? What did he ask you to help him. to do? All I know of. is that he wanted me to undo the prop. like the. the headboards, the. the couch. But I Did you notice no blood. on that? Think about it before you. answer that. >> the side that I picked it up from, no. All I did was what he asked me to do.

But you understand, all you All you did. what he asked you to do, it's too late. You already helped him. That's already a crime. It's too late. >> that, and that's the reason why I asked. if I needed attorney because I tampered. with evidence. >> Correct. So, [music] And it wasn't until. after the fact that I sat there and I. thought about it because he he said that. everything was found that way. So, the charge is already there. There's. not going to be any more of It's not. going to get any worse other than you. just [music] telling the truth of what.

happened. The charge is there. You already have a. tampering with evidence charge on a. first-degree murder, okay? That's a second-degree felony. Needless to say, this is not what. Cassandra is hoping to hear. In this. moment, she realizes her days of freedom. may be numbered if she continues. twisting the facts to protect both. herself and Cain. Cassandra knows. something has to give. So, after hearing. what's awaiting her, she asks to step. outside for a smoke, and [music] this is.

where she finally gives detectives a. small piece of the truth. Like I said, I went out there. I went out to. the store. Mhm. And I came back. He said they found them that way. He said He said what?

So, what did he tell you he found? People. All four. How many people? Three. And who are they? Kieran, Kieran, Mary, and Victor. I signed up for to take him to a job. interview. I didn't sign up for him to do this. Do. you now believe that he did it? I don't know what to believe. I just know that. there was. a mess,

and then there was a lot of illegal. [ __ ]. Lots of illegal [ __ ]. What else did you help clean up inside. the house? Besides the blood. And the furniture, taking it out. >> Yeah. And I I didn't see how bad the furniture. was. Did you help clean up anything else? There's so many red flags going on right. now. Still have you saying that you. walked into this house and.

Cain telling you, "Holy [ __ ]. I just walked into a house and all my. family's dead. Let's get rid of them.". >> [clears throat]. >> It doesn't sound really stupid. Doesn't. it sound stupid that when you say it out. loud? Cuz I guarantee you, I walk into a house. with my family dead, shit's about to hit the fan cuz we got. to figure out what the hell just. happened, and I'm calling the cops. I. Yeah, I don't We're telling you we've. done our research. I've gotten zero sleep in 5 days. I'm. I mean, I'm We're not letting this go.

This is a triple homicide. And not letting it go is exactly what. investigators are going to spend the. rest of the day trying to do, hoping. Cassandra will eventually crack and give. them the full story. Unfortunately. though, this is the closest they will. get to a real admission as Cassandra. begins to backpedal and returns to a. revised version of events where she. claims they found their family members. already dead. They then simply decide to. cover up the scene to avoid getting in. trouble because Cain believed the police.

were corrupt. Detectives would spend. until nightfall pressing Cassandra with. no success, and she ultimately sticks to. the same story. So, before ending the. interview and leaving, Agent Graham has. one more rather strange question that's. been on his mind all this time. Yeah, that's his to my phone. He knew my. passwords. Like I said, I trusted him. Now, he. >> to be my brother. Can I ask you a really weird question? Sure. No, never mind. No, go for it. Why would.

the Why was there a Why did you guys buy. a brand new box of condoms? No, that was a joke. It should be the skin on late sex, and I had bought those in Chattanooga. And they were hers. And I threw them at. Walter. because I was tired of having kids, and. I was tired of being pregnant all the. time. Well, why would they be in the. penthouse? I that I don't know. Why. Why would they be in the penthouse? >> That's why I have a weird question. Last.

time I knew about them, they were in the. [ __ ]. They They were at [music] my house. Well, these This was in the well house. with all of the cleanup. He told me that. there was a possibility that Kieran. wasn't. um his mother due to DNA test DNA DNA. results. And that's there was a potential that he. had feelings for me. Cain? Mhm. [clears throat and cough]. And that didn't That didn't That's not.

That's not weird for you? Like to be around him with that with. your kids when you guys are pretty much. brother and sister? Like it was weird, but he never acted on it. I thought you. guys were step-siblings. Not half-siblings. No, we're. half-siblings. Well, cuz we also found a. pregnancy test. Yep. I had a one-night. stand at the variety, and I didn't start my period on time, and I panic, and I overthink, and there. should be four of them. The detectives' tone makes it clear they. aren't convinced, suspecting Cain and.

Cassandra are hiding important details. about their relationship. By now though, what investigators came here to do is. partially successful. Even though. there's still no direct admission tying. their suspects to the killings, Cassandra has implicated both herself. and Cain in the cover-up. Because of. this, Cassandra is officially detained. and brought back to the police station. What exactly was said during Cassandra's. arrest remains unknown, but the pressure. appears to have completely broken her.

In the hours that followed, she went on. to further incriminate Cain, seemingly. doing everything she could to distance. herself from what happened, no matter. the cost to him. A betrayal that would. later come as a complete shock to Cain. All I knew was it's like. I had PTSD. from the last time I saw cops. because there was my blood all over the. floor and my head through the wall, and. I was trying to protect him from that.

If he was really as innocent as he said. he was, then there was going to be. nothing to hide, right? >> [snorts]. >> Which is why I dropped him off at the. jail. I was pretty shocked that he. showed up at the. at the police department in Mississippi. Cuz I told him if he was as innocent as. he told me that he was, if he really found them the way they. were, then that's all he had to tell you. guys, and you would figure out the rest.

In the following days, Cain is brought. into an interrogation room, this time in. an orange jumpsuit for what would be his. final interview. Agent Graham is. assigned to conduct the interview, the. same investigator who previously spoke. with Cassandra and secured her. confession. By this stage, Graham knows. the case inside and out, and he. approaches the interview with a. deliberate strategy, intent on. extracting as much information as. possible. And in this case, that's. exactly what's needed because now, more. than ever, detectives need a confession.

Right as the interrogation begins, Cain. makes a desperate attempt to ensure. Cassandra is keeping her story together. He seems to be completely unaware that. Cassandra isn't protecting him anymore. Do you happen to have a pen handy? I do. Do you have her number? Mm. Because I have it in my wallet at the. jail, but they won't let me access it, and I need to make sure that she's okay. because she mentioned wanting to go back.

down to New Mexico. And after doing it once, that's already. a hard enough trip. Well, I talked to her Sunday when she. got back into Roswell. >> I don't even know what today is, man. At this point, Cain still believed. Cassandra was in Mississippi and hadn't. spoken to officers since their first. contact. Unfortunately, not only did. Cassandra confess since then, but she. did it in front of the very detective. sitting just feet away. So, I talked to her on Sunday. I would. travel to Roswell when she got in.

I talked to her for probably, I don't. know, more than two, less than four. hours, okay? And then [music]. on Monday, I traveled to Roswell again, and I. talked to her again. Okay. For about, I. don't know, two hours, okay? But I. learned a lot from her. Okay? And. I'm hoping that I'm going to learn more. from you. Um I don't want to call anybody a liar, but I think there's some inconsistencies. with your statements cuz I want you to.

know that there's going to be a lot of. questions that I ask you that I already. know the answer to, but this is going to. be a test for you to see if you're being. truthful with me, okay? Because it is I. know what's the truth because I've been. working this case since Wednesday the. 22nd, okay? After Agent Graham makes it obvious Cain. is on his own now, the interview. demeanor changes fast. He wastes no time. bringing up Cassandra's confession and. placing it directly against Cain, making. it clear that detectives are no longer. relying on his version of events alone.

Um. Did you hurt anybody inside that house, including Victor, Killian, and Mary? No, [music] sir. So, how does Victor, Killian, and Mary. just mysteriously go missing? I. I've been trying to find out the same. You do understand though that that we. found all three of them, correct? I believe Special Agent Silva did tell. you that. He.

alluded to something that I was really. hoping is not. truthful. So, I'm just going to I'm not really one. to beat around the bush, okay? Um I I. just I call it like it is, okay? But Cassie's told me everything that's. happened. Okay? She told me your. involvement. She told me what you guys did. That you walked into the house.

You found all three of them dead. You guys picked up their bodies. You put them in the blue Subaru. You drove it up the hill. You guys both tipped it over. She told me it all. Okay? You guys used. the little green dolly to pick them up. and put them on the dolly. Wheel them. out to the car. You tied a rope around Killian's waist. Hooked the rope up to your dad's hitch. and drove the car to pull them into the. backseat. So, the gig's up, Kane. Okay? I I told. you I don't beat around the bush.

We've done it I've worked over 100 hours. in 1 week. Okay? This is serious. So, now. this is your opportunity and your chance. to tell me your side of the story. Cassie's told me hers. Okay. Okay? Okay. As Kane sits in silence, the realization. sets in. He's on his own now, and. whatever story he had planned coming. into this interrogation has now been. flipped entirely on its head. But, Agent. Graham presents the story strategically.

By laying it out exactly as Cassandra. described it, he gives Kane an opening. to admit only to helping conceal the. murders while shifting responsibility. for the actual killings onto someone. else. If he can get this confession. first, it'll be significantly easier to. get Kane to confess to the killings. later on. Do you want to start back at the. beginning? And I know the date that all this. happened, also. I can. I can tell you what happened.

I can't tell you why. I have. I don't know. I was trying to find out. I [ __ ] up your crime scene. And I'm sorry for that. Is everything that I just said what. Cassie told me? Is that accurate? To a degree. And what isn't? When we went to the house that day. And it's just you and Cassie. Yeah. Not Not the kids. No.

There's a witness, too. And who is that? The mailman. He can. attest to this. Like the post the postal man that drives. and delivers the mail in the mailboxes? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. We had gotten there. just before him. He went up. I told her to hang tight for. a minute because that meant that. everybody would be awake. And that was.

kind of looking hopeful. Killian was up and moving about. And I knocked on the door. I told him, "Hey, you just missed the postman.". And he was real fidgety. He was. scratching his head a lot. He was irritated. And I told him, "Hey, I got some good. news. Everything's moving along with the. mortgage company. We're looking to move in and we ought to. be all set by like the end of the month. Everything should be good. They got my. process or my status is pending.".

He closed the door. And I watched him take the mail off to. the bedroom. And then he went back. and I [ __ ] you not, I heard like. must have been. 20 gunshots. I didn't even. think to do the front door. I just ran. around to the side, came through my. door.

And it wasn't closed all the way. I ran. through the bedroom. My uncle Vic was laying in his doorway. with. a gun in one hand. His other was like. shaking.

Just kind of like floating there. And Killian was across [snorts] from. him. I don't know why. I don't know who shot. I don't know. So, where. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Kane, but. I don't mean to be an ass, okay? But, I. know when you were going down this road. that that's where you were headed. Okay? That one of them did all this. The evidence They both had guns. Kane. and Victor both had guns. Killian. I mean, Killian, sorry. They. both had. [ __ ] guns and they told me there. weren't any left in the house. Where are. they? You and Cassie were the only ones in. there. So, what did you guys do with the. guns?

Do you see that we're. I've been doing this for a long time, okay? I'm not dumb. This isn't my first. homicide. Okay? Kane falls directly into Agent Graham's. trap, confessing to concealing the. bodies and giving a terribly thought-out. lie about who committed the murders. But, Graham doesn't stop there and. begins pressing further, letting Kane. know that nothing he can say at this. point will dig him out of his grave. I'm not I'm not going to hurt I'm not. going to lie to you though, Kane. Like.

this was a pretty. This was a pretty tough one for us. This. took a lot of time. This is the most. that we've ever spent on a case, by the. way. This is the farthest we've been to. investigate one, too. And I mean, the whole [music] wrapping. the rope around Killian's waist and. pulling him in with the other car. I mean, that was pretty creative. And I'm being serious. I'm not being a. smart ass. I don't I don't know how I would have. got him in the car, either. I don't know. how I would have got him on the wagon. That's 200 lbs dead weight. 280 lbs dead.

weight. That's a lot. I mean, you're not much bigger than me. I mean, think about how crazy Think. about how crazy that sounds though. Like. you were cremating them. And you went up there on the 22nd and. you burned them, right? After you and her put chain [music] link. over the top of the car with the little. camouflage tarp thing and all the sticks. and brush covering it. I.

I did try to offer them a cremation. I mean, that was nice of you. But, I didn't hurt them. Cuz the rest of the family didn't get to. say their goodbyes. There aren't enough of us left. And I mean, I got to give it to you, too. Using the camel lungs. and the steel pipe to prop it over to. get it dumped over. Like this is one of the. one of the most creative homicides that.

I've seen. I didn't hurt anybody, sir. I would never hurt my family. Well, but Kane, that's what they all say. I just [snorts] don't I don't buy that. you didn't do it. I'm sorry. I can't. I I think Cassie's full of [ __ ] on a lot. of things, but I don't think she's full. of [ __ ] on that. And I'm not so sure that she wasn't. involved in it, to be honest with you. She wasn't even there, sir. Okay. Well, I'm telling you right now, Cassie's in jail. That's why you can't. get a hold of her.

Then I need an attorney. Okay. I didn't hurt anybody, sir. Uh my next question is, are you going to. sign a waiver of extradition to go back. to Mexico, or do you want to. us have to get a governor's warrant and. you sit up here in our our jail for.

months? Do you mean New Mexico? Yeah. Okay. What do you think, Detective? I I can't. tell you, but I can serve you with this. target notice, okay? These are the. charges that are being filed against. you. Um this is what we're going for. grand jury, okay? I can't accept that. Well, it's not an. option. That's what These are the. charges that are coming against me. Yes, sir. These are These are your charges. Clearly, Kane doesn't seem to understand.

the law, and he'll be fighting the. charges regardless of whether he accepts. them or not. On paper, [music] Kane is. charged with an array of crimes, including arson, aggravated burglary, and three counts of first-degree murder. Additionally, Cassandra would be. officially charged following the. interrogation, also getting three counts. of first-degree murder, conspiracy to. commit murder, and tampering with. evidence. In [music] the weeks that. follow, detectives and prosecutors begin. assembling the full picture. The blood. patterns inside the house, the cleanup.

supplies, [music] the burned Subaru, the. shell casings, the clothing, the phone. records, and Cassandra's own statements. describing the disposal of the bodies. And after countless sleepless nights, investigators believe they have finally. pieced together what happened. Victor, Mary, and Killian were killed. near the south bedroom and kitchen. before being moved through the house. Their bodies were then loaded into. Victor's blue Subaru, which Kane. allegedly drove into the canyon, pushed. over a ditch, and set on fire. Kane's.

shifting stories and control of the. green Subaru point investigators towards. him as the primary actor, while. Cassandra's admissions place her. squarely in the cleanup and cover-up. Detectives see Kane returning from. Canada as the start of a growing. grievance over what he believes is. rightfully his, 22 acres of family land. They allege that a dispute over the. property motivated Cain and that he drew. Cassandra into a plan to cover up the. deaths and claim control of the land.

For now, both remain presumed innocent. [music] unless and until they are proven. guilty in court. If convicted, they. could each face multiple life sentences. under New Mexico law with decades behind. bars before any possibility of parole. As for Mike Lordis and the other. relatives, they can rest safely for now, praying that those responsible never see. the light of day again.
